NOTE
When selecting the drive pinion front shims, if the number
of shims is large, reduce the number of shims to a minimum
by selecting the drive pinion spacers.

DIFFERENTIAL GEAR
differential>
Adjust the differential gear backlash by the follow ing proce-
dures:
(1) Assemble the side gears, side gear spacers, pin ion gears,
and pinion washers into the differential case.
(2) Temporarily install the pinion shaft.
NOTE,
Do not drive in the lock pin yet.,
(3) While locking the side gear with the wedge,. me asure
the differential gear backlash with a

pinion gear.
NOTE
(1) The measurement should be made for both pinion
gears individually.
(2) Refer to for measurement of slip
differential gear backlash.
Standard value: 0 0.076 mm in.)
Limit: 0.2 mm
in.)
(4) If the differential gear backlash exceeds the l imit, adjust
the backlash by installing thicker side gear spacer s.
(5) Measure the differential gear backlash once aga in, and
confirm that it is within the limit.
NOTE
1. After adjustment, check that is less than
the limit and differential “gear rotates smoothly.
2. When adjustment is impossible,’ replace the side gear
and the pinion gear as a set.

LOCK PIN INSTALLATION
(1) Align the pinion shaft lock pin hole with the ‘ differential
case lock pin hole, and drive in the
pin.
(2) Stake the lock pin with a punch at, two points.
DRIVE GEAR INSTALLATION
(1) Clean the drive gear attaching bolts.
(2) Remove the adhesive adhering to the threaded ho les
of the drive gear by turning

INSPECTION
lCheck the bushings for wear and deterioration.
lCheck the upper arm for bends or damage.
lCheck all bolts for condition and straightness.
IBALL JOINT BREAKAWAY TORQUE CHECK
(1) After shaking the ball joint stud times, install the
nut to the stud and use the special tool to measure the
breakaway torque of the ball joint.
Standard value: Nm (3-22
(2) When the measured value exceeds the standard va lue,
replace the upper arm assembly.
(3) When the measured value is lower than the stand ard
value, check that the ball joint turns smoothly wit hout
excessive play. If so, it is possible to use that b all joint.
BALL DUST COVER CHECK
If there are any cracks in or damage to the dust co ver, replace
the arm assembly.
